Chapter 935 Qin Shuang of the Qin Family
Chapter 933: Qin Shuang of the Qin Family
Although the riots in Luoyang City have been suppressed, the coalition forces did not stop siegeing the city, but instead attacked even more violently.
For the Liang army, the biggest threat is always the coalition forces outside the city. However, since the internal rebellion has been suppressed, the Liang army can concentrate its efforts to defend the enemy, and naturally it is even more afraid of threats from the outside.
For Yang Jian, searching the aristocratic family is just a trivial matter. After all, the aristocratic family has no power to resist, but the spies such as the Jinyiwei who have never appeared have pierced in Yang Jian''s heart like a thorn.
Yang Jian''s left eyelid twitched wildly and asked with an uneasy look on his face: "Xiu Ning''s niece, the rebellion of the aristocratic family has ended. Has the Jinyiwei not appeared yet?"
The spy hiding in the dark corner was impossible to make Yang Jian afraid, but he always felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.
“This is indeed very strange.”
Li Xiuning frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Jinyiwei has planned for so long, so it is impossible for him to appear, but there is no movement at all until now, which is really unpredictable."
Dugu Jialuo''s heart moved and analyzed slowly:
"Did the Jinyiwei noticed that the action was exposed and understood that Luoyang would not be able to accomplish anything after losing the opportunity, so he simply gave up the aristocratic family in order to protect himself?"
Li Xiuning frowned even more when she heard this, and said, "If this is the case, it will be troublesome."
All spies are rooted in the dark. If they are not exposed on their own initiative, it will be difficult to capture them all in one place. After all, it is impossible to thoroughly investigate the big cities like Luoyang.
Li Xiuning originally wanted to use this rebellion to annihilate all the Jinyiwei, so as to eliminate all the unstable factors in Luoyang City in one fell swoop.
Li Xiuke''s idea is good. Now it seems that it is difficult to achieve it. After all, the Jinyiwei would rather sacrifice his aristocratic family than expose it. Now the rebellion is suppressed and it is definitely even more impossible to come out.
"These rats are so cautious."
Li Xiuning gritted her teeth and cursed, "I missed this excellent opportunity, but I don''t know how long this time bomb will be buried."
Yang Jian sighed helplessly, and then said in a deep voice: "It''s better to be cautious. I''ll order Liang Guard to continue to strengthen surveillance and interrogation, and there must be no slackness. I will have a premonition that the spies of the coalition forces will never give up."
Li Xiuning''s eyes froze and she said respectfully: "Oh."
The rebellion lasted less than two hours from the beginning to the end, but the search for major families was not over until dawn.
During the Liang army''s search operation, thousands of rebellious relatives were directly arrested, and there were also a large number of related people. They either hid in secret rooms or hid in the homes of the people in the city. It was obviously not an easy task to search them all.
As for the materials seized by the aristocratic family, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is even enough to be used for 120,000 yuan a year. This is also the only thing that Li Shimin and Yang Jian are pleased. The situation facing this batch of goods will be much better.
Li Xiuning kept in mind Yang Jian''s advice and kept conducting strict inspections and searches in the city, but no trace of the Jinyiwei was found until the early morning. At the north gate, Zhang Xutuo, who was commanding the city, a shocking incident occurred at this time.
Qin Shuang, with a group of Liang Guards, rushed to the Earth Dragon Gate and asked the soldiers: "Where is General Zhang Xutuo?"
"The general is commanding the city on the city tower."
"At this time, the Liangwei had an important military order from the Sui Hou. Let General Zhang Xutuo come over to receive the order."
Seeing Qin Shuang''s serious look, the soldiers did not dare to neglect, so they immediately went to report to Zhang Xutuo.
The coalition was responsible for attacking the North Gate, and Yuan Shu sent Zhao Kuangyin to command the siege. Zhao Kuangyin had extremely strong siege command ability, and Zhang Xutuo also had to concentrate on commanding the defense so that no flaws could be revealed. When Zhang Xutuo heard the soldiers'' reports, he was extremely dissatisfied. After all, how important is the military situation to defend the city?
But the other party had the order from the Sui Hou, so Zhang Xutuo temporarily handed over the defense to the deputy general, and then came to receive the order quickly in person.
"Brother Qin, what''s the big deal?"
Zhang Xutuo naturally knew Qin Shuang. After all, Qin Shuang was one of the commanders of the Liangwei, and he only made great contributions not long ago. The most important thing is that Qin Shuang is a young talent of the Guanxi faction.
Qin Shuang also bowed and said with a serious look on her face: "Brother Zhang, something big happened. Although the rebellion in the city has been cleared, it was found that among the four guards, there were spies inserted by the coalition forces in the coalition."
"What?"
Zhang Xutuo widened his eyes and said in shock: "The three generals Yang Su, Li Keyong and Yin Kaishan cannot be spies!"
"Brother Zhang, you are still in the mood to care about others, and you are also the object of doubt." Qin Shuang said with a wry smile.
Zhang Xutuo was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn''t help but feel stunned: "Brother, you are here..."
"Yes, I''ll convey the orders of the Sui Hou."
As he said that, Qin Shuang handed a paper letter to Zhang Xutuo, and said in a deep voice: "Order the four gates to temporarily put down the responsibility of defending the city and return immediately. He will not be allowed to lead troops before he escapes suspicion. If he violates the rebellion, he will be killed on the spot."
After reading the suit, Zhang Xutuo looked at the Liangwei behind Qin Shuang, then clasped his fists and said, "Zhang Xutuo received the order."
If others conveyed this order, Zhang Xutuo would definitely doubt whether it was true or not, but Qin Shuang only made great contributions not long ago, but the possibility of spies was extremely low. In addition, there was indeed Yang Jian''s seal, so Zhang Xutuo did not doubt Qin Shuang at all.
"Brother, let me explain to you first, and then go back and report to you."
Qin Shuang nodded when she heard this. Seeing this, Zhang Xutuo gave a few simple words, and then prepared to leave with Qin Shuang, but when he saw that Qin Shuang had no intention of going back, he immediately asked, "Brother, aren''t you going back with me?"
"No, I have other tasks."
After saying that, Qin Shuang was afraid to pat Zhang Xutuo on the shoulder and comforted him: "Brother Zhang, I believe you are definitely not a spy. As long as you go back and explain it briefly, you will definitely be able to clear your suspicion."
"I hope so." Zhang Xutuo smiled bitterly, then left under the **** of Liang Guard.
After Qin Shuang saw Zhang Xutuo leave, a hint of apology flashed in her eyes.
There were two Liangwei wearing black and white guard uniforms beside Qin Shuang. Seeing this, Liangwei in black smiled and said to Qin Shuang, "I am worthy of being a member of the Qin family."
Qin Shuang glanced at the other party without replying. Then she took the remaining one hundred Liang Guards and walked quickly towards the city gate, saying, "I will kill Zhang Xutuo''s deputy general. Whether it is successful or not, you will take action immediately."
"good."
The white-clothed Liangwei nodded tacitly, and Qin Shuang immediately accelerated her pace and walked quickly up the city tower.
